    reloading the .204 ruger

    Hi, has anybody on here any experience of reloading the .204 ruger? tried a search but haven't found anything. thinking of going down this road for vermin and fox as the MET won't give me vermin on my .243 [or .22 CF come to that!]

    Hi there. I reload for 204 Ruger and at the moment are using 39gr Sierra B/Kings and Benchmark. The best group so far has been 5 shots into .300, but it is still quite early days with this load.
    Foxes definatly dont like it though!
    I`ve also got a couple of other decent load`s, so if i can give you any advice let me know.
